I have a page for the Milk Chocolate Recipe I use quite a bit. It gives full directions. If you use the following ratios (a little different from the recipe above), you can make a smaller, slightly different batch of 40% milk chocolate. I like the Ivory Coast and Costa Rica, but any will do. Go by your own tastes.
10 oz Cocoa liqueur from a well flavored cocoa bean (14.7%) 16 oz Cocoa butter (26.5%) 8 oz Milk powder (11.8%) 32 oz sugar (47.1%)
This Milk Powder will also work quite nicely for a White Chocolate.
For those drinking this, 1 lb will make approximately 1 gallon of milk. This also translates to about 1 oz or 3 T per 8 oz of water.
Finally, I was told the Canadian import tariff on powdered milk is 243%, if you are ordering from there, you may need to take that into account.
Whole milk powder should be stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to protect it from moisture and odors. Exposure to humidity can cause clumping, so always seal the package well after each use. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures, which can degrade the powder’s flavor and quality.
